One Sentence Movie Reviews: “Shrek the Third”
Shrek The Third (2007): “Third time’s the charm only if you’re as hard-assed about quality as the first two.”
Notes: I think Shrek is losing his bellow. It’s got all the elements that made the first two movies so wonderful but the screenplay is clunky and feels a bit unneccessary. Tight plotting made the first two more than just clever fables. Here Shrek is barely the main character, the story forcing itself on King Arthur, (voiced by Justin Timberlake) and shoving Donkey and Puss n Boots off the edges. We didn’t ask for that.
